One of my favorite places to eat lunch is the Cafe Doña Elpidia located five or six blocks south of the Zocalo. It is in the home of Señora Elpidia at the back of her patio filled with flowers so it feels as if you are in a secluded private garden, which I guess you are. Señora Elpidia is the cook, waiter and clean-up person--she does it all and has for many years. Her cafe is open each afternoon and serves one complete meal for 50 pesos, about $3.89. By the way this has been the price since we first ate there in 2001. Today she served agua de papaya, botanas of chicharron, quesillo, empanada then caldo with tortilla strips then the entree of mole mantmenteles with beef, potatoes, chayote and pineapple. The dessert was strawberry cream.
